Color on the reflectivity radar image represents the strength of the energy returned, measured in decibels (dBZ). As the dBZ increases, so does the rainfall rate. The National Weather service uses a ...

Two weeks ago, I talked about an introduction to radar and how it works on a basic level. This time, we are looking into radar reflectivity specifically, the most popular product of weather radar.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - UAH confirmed chaff was the cause of high radar reflectivity, or the "blob" over West Huntsville Tuesday. They released a photo of what they said is fiberglass chaff found on ...

The newest Doppler radars, the type all National Weather Service offices use, have dual-polarization. This means the electromagnetic pulse sent out to detect objects in the atmosphere is both ...

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- For a meteorologist, it’s a never ending endeavor, trying to provide lead time to oncoming tornadoes without crying wolf at every storm. Fortunately, advancements in radar ...

As we chatted about previously, we mainly use the reflectivity product of radar, as show above here with those showers leaving eastern Iowa. Most of the time, it shows us rain, but radar picks up ...

People have tried to predict the weather since the beginning of time. To forecast the weather people usually relied on observed patterns of events, for example if it’s cloudy it will probably rain.

ABSTRACT The authors use variograms of radar reflectivity as a summary statistic to describe the spatial continuity of Alpine precipitation on mesogamma scales. First, how to obtain such variograms is ...

DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - We are no stranger to severe weather across the Wiregrass, particularly this week with severe weather events on Tuesday and coming up on Friday. The 4Warn Weather Team uses radar ...
